From remote apiary yards and transport fleets to commercial extraction floors, managing stubborn wax, maintaining biosecurity compliance, and keeping honey flowing at full output demand purpose-built industrial machinery. Adelaide Cleaning Equipment (ACE) supplies, customises, and services dedicated closed-loop thermal systems and commercial SPITWATER pressure cleaners engineered specifically for South Australian apiarists and honey processors.
Apiary operations demand tough equipment that performs in regional field conditions and satisfies strict food-grade standards inside the honey shed. Off-the-shelf domestic pressure washers lack the water flow required to clear sticky honey residues and cannot deliver the thermal impact needed to strip caked beeswax from uncappers, sumps, and extraction machinery. ACE delivers heavy-duty SPITWATER equipment designed to cut daily washdown hours, protect hive health, and keep seasonal production moving:
Commercial Hot Water SPITWATER Pressure Cleaners: Heavy-duty electric and diesel-heated units delivering high-temperature water (up to 90°C) to dissolve caked beeswax instantly, flush extraction lines, and sanitise honey shed floors without heavy chemical dependency.
Independent Petrol & Diesel Pressure Cleaners: Rugged, roll-frame Honda or diesel-powered SPITWATER units engineered for high-pressure performance in remote apiary locations where 240V power and mains water are unavailable.
Biosecurity & Vehicle Washdown: Dedicated high-flow washdown configurations to decontaminate hive trucks, flatbed trailers, split-boom loaders, and site tools between yards, stripping organic matter and honey residue to prevent cross-site contamination.
Food-Grade Washdown Accessories: Specialised non-marking hot water hoses, stainless steel wands, low-pressure foamers, and high-flow washdown guns rated for clean food processing environments.
Sticky wax build-up, uncapper blockages, and viscous cold honey slow operations to a crawl. The SPITWATER SHW11/12V Portable Hot Water Heater Unit (the industry’s dedicated “Bee Machine”) is engineered specifically to eliminate these bottlenecks. Built around a commercial SPITWATER boiler and diesel-fired burner, it provides instant, precision-controlled hot water to circulate through plant lines, heat extraction jackets, or deliver a high-volume washdown without wasting water or scorching product.
Rapid Thermal Delivery: Reaches operating temperature and allows extraction to begin in under five minutes from a cold startup.
Closed-Circuit Water Recycling: Internal loop recycles its own water with a return inlet temperature capability of up to 95°C, or instantly heats fresh water on demand.
Food-Grade 316 Stainless Steel: Internal heating coil and reservoir tank are fabricated from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel to comply with strict food production and extraction hygiene standards.
Digital Microprocessor Accuracy: Remote touch-screen control on a 10-metre umbilical cable provides temperature adjustments accurate to within 2°C, utilising 1,200 distinct firing sequences for continuous stability.
Dual-Operation Flow Control: An integrated peripheral pump delivers up to 25 L/min, with an ergonomic directional valve to switch instantly between closed-loop plant heating and open washdown gun wands.
Field-Ready & Efficient: Consumes under 2 L/hr of diesel fuel with an ultra-low electrical amp draw, making it easy to run on standard generators in remote regional apiaries.
Beyond the extraction floor, precise thermal control and high-temperature sanitisation are critical across multiple stages of regional food and beverage production. Built for versatile multi-task duty, ACE equipment adapts seamlessly across processing lines, storage facilities, and hygiene zones to eliminate bottlenecks and protect product integrity.

Got questions about selecting, running, or maintaining high-pressure cleaning and thermal equipment for your apiary? Here are answers to common questions about keeping your honey extraction plant compliant, efficient, and running at peak performance.
The SHW11/12V acts as a dedicated portable thermal plant on wheels. It continuously circulates precision hot water through honey uncappers, extraction plant jackets, and hot room radiator pipes, while also switching instantly to high-volume washdown via an included directional valve.
Yes. The diesel-fired burner supplies thermal power while drawing minimal electrical amperage, enabling the entire system to run smoothly on standard portable generators at regional apiary sites.
Cold water causes beeswax to solidify and bond to stainless steel extraction surfaces. Hot-water SPITWATER pressure cleaners deliver high-temperature water (70°C–90°C) that melts caked wax on contact, flushing it away cleanly through recovery lines without requiring harsh chemical degreasers.
High-pressure hot water allows beekeepers to thoroughly wash hive trucks, split-boom loaders, and site tools between yards, removing organic matter, honey spills, and soil to minimise cross-contamination risks across regional sites.
Yes. ACE stocks complete lines of food-grade, non-marking hot water hoses, low-pressure washdown guns, stainless steel lances, and quick-release couplings designed for honey and food processing facilities.
